Cranston said he wanted to live in a small village, learn French and how to cook and pick up gardening. He said he was excited at the prospect of reading books with his wife and "finding new things to talk about over dinner." "It's about taking a chance. I'm used to that feeling — of not knowing," he said.
Cranston said he is taking time off from acting to spend more time with his wife Robin, whom he has been married to for 34 years. He wants to spend more time with her "not as a wife of a celebrity, but as a loving married couple" entering the latter years of their lives "with new hopes and goals and experiences."
Bryan Cranston has a plan for his Hollywood career to come to a brief end in 2026 so that he can spend more time with his wife, Robin Dearden. The Emmy winner announced the plan in a new GQ UK interview, saying he will take at least six months off from Hollywood and move to France in 2026.
How much did Bryan Cranston make during Breaking Bad?
How much do Cranston and Paul earn per episode as meth cooks? Cranston takes home a cool $225,000 per episode, while Paul earns $150,000. (Not bad for someone who was originally supposed to be killed off at the end of season one.)
Bryan Cranston has pledged to retire from acting in 2026 to devote more time to his wife, Robin Dearden. Speaking with British GQ for the outlet's June cover story, the Breaking Bad alum, 67, dished about his three-year exit plan from show business, telling the outlet, "I want to change the paradigm once again."
She has played the role of the redoubtable matriarch Peggy Woolley in The Archers for more than 70 years. But at the age of 103, June Spencer is finally retiring from the BBC Radio 4 soap. Spencer featured in the very first episode of the show in 1951. Her final performance was broadcast on Sunday 31 July.
Bryan Cranston's salary per episode was $225,000 and it even earned him the Primetime Emmy award for outstanding lead actor three times. Alongside Aaron Paul portraying Jesse Pinkman, the show was a hit and made Bryan a multi-millionaire.
How much did Bob Odenkirk make from Better Call Saul?
Bob Odenkirk is not just the lead actor on Better Call Saul, he is also one of the show's producers. For his work acting in and producing the series for the first season, Odenkirk was reportedly making $150,000 per episode. For the sixth—and final—season of the series, Odenkirk reportedly made $200,000 an episode.

But given the typical feel-good nature, it may be surprising to learn with some final text stating Dell and Phillip remain friends to this day that The Upside is based on a true story. Technically, The Upside is a remake of French film The Intouchables, with the action moved from Paris to New York.
Bryan Cranston's net worth is estimated to be $40 million as of 2023. In addition to his film and TV work, he created mezcal brand Dos Hombres with his Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul and starred in two Broadway shows.

When first playing Saul in Breaking Bad, Odenkirk was 47, almost the same age as his character. But when first playing Jimmy, aged 41, in Better Call Saul, Odenkirk was 53 by then, over a decade older than Jimmy and just slightly older than Gene – not that it's impacted his sublime performance any.
The $9.72 million and some change Walter White was able to salvage after being robbed of most of his drug money by Jack and his crew ended up with Walter Jr., not Skyler. By the end of the series, Skyler was so disgusted with herself and with Walter White that she would not have accepted that money for any reason.
How much did Hank make per episode in Breaking Bad?
